This reminds me of sitting in the stands of Neyland on that cold rainy night in 98. Down by 4, 3 minutes left, get the ball back and go four and out. It was over. Perfection was over. I looked to the sky with rain falling down and just simply said 'please?'. Then Stoerner was tripped and we fell on the ball. Hope was back. And Travis Henry crushed his way down the field and got us the win. Phil, you coached this game. Be our Travis Henry.

Yeah, you already know my thoughts on it. If we did get an announcement today, I'd bet it would be Les.

I also know, with the way this thing has gone, nothing will surprise me.

So then if you WERE to get surprised, that would surprise you because you think nothing will surprise you.

So I'm saying there's a chance. :)


Good morning, everyone. :salute:

Yea, I still think that announcing it the day before MNF would be in bad taste, for lack of a better phrase, but it would HAVE to be done.

The hurt feelings and backlash would pass.

Interesting take. Where would the hurt feeling and backlash come from? It’s definitely going to have to be done sometime. I don’t think we can wait till after Christmas if it’s Gruden.

Gruden is the best middle finger to Haslam!

What I'm waiting for is getting life back to normal and not spending 3 hours each morning catching up in this thread! Although, because of real life it makes it more fun to be in here and forget about for a little. My slice of heaven down in the islands was totally leveled and dealing with insurance has been unsettling to say the least.

To deerhunter, your gift is not as good as it was going to be, but, have decided that a consolation prize will be honored as it's the season to give, and optimism keeps all of us going, so, I see Gruden you see something still.

Bcarter, man, lighten up and be nice, it's the season, and no matter Gruden or not, I will not hate on anyone who is a VOL fan and will only kindly disagree with their viewpoints. But, after last week, WE ALL SHOULD TRY AND BE APPRECIATIVE TO ALL VOL FANS AS WE ALL WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR UT! No matter the opinion or belief on how "best" is achieved.

Once we had the ball back, not a single Tennessee fan in that stadium doubted what was going to happen. Smash mouth, run it down their throat football.
That confidence is what we've lacked the past nine years and it needs to come back.

After reading the Vampire story, which I believe most of it, I change my mind.

IF...there is any truth to Gruden, I mean any, they should take a camera crew with them and announce it the very second he finishes the N.

It was a good read wasn’t it

I thought Gruden bought Haslam's house? Was that BS? Did Gruden buy a house in Knoxville?

As soon as there is an agreement, if there is an agreement, it needs to be announced immediately. Until this morning, I thought it would be best if it waited until after MNF game, not the MNF season.

I thought if it were to be announced on a Sunday, it would still be new enough to distract attention away from the game, an NFL game. The NFL isn't what it used to be, but its still a pretty big business.

Anyway, blah blah blah, I had an opinion and I changed my mind.
